HuffPost UK, Business Insider Europe, Refinery29 UK, Norwegian tabloid VG and British broadcaster Sky News have been shortlisted for Publisher of the Year at the Digiday Media Awards Europe, which recognize the companies working to modernize European media.

Each of the titles were chosen for how they demonstrated of importance of international expansion, breaking out of news bubbles and technological innovation.

After Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, HuffPost UK’s journalists wanted to break out of the publisher’s London-centric media bubble. In 2017, it collaborated with other local HuffPost outlets to produce a campaign called “Killer Air,” a chronicle of global air pollution.

Business Insider Europe’s goal was expansion, launching six new local editions in 2017 through license partners in Poland, the Netherlands, France, Scandinavian countries, Italy and Spain.

Refinery29 UK, launched in 2015, publishes 30 to 40 stories daily and has produced several editorial series about issues affecting women, including “Stop Skirting The Issue,” a campaign advocating for the criminalization of “upskirt” photography.

VG is Snapchat Discover’s first Nordic publisher, teaming up with the app at the beginning of 2017 to deliver news to a younger audience. Today, over 1 million users — representing one-fifth of Norway’s population — tune in to VG’s daily Snapchat content.

“It’s always great to see slick, high-quality work, but this year, authenticity really cut through the noise,” said awards judge Brian Lavery, managing director for AccuWeather in Europe. “I was most impressed by agencies that spoke in a true voice for their target audience, while also sticking to their client’s message. When they matched this with socially aware campaigns, even better.”

Lauren Dick, awards judge and director of emerging platforms at MailOnline, agreed. “The standout thing from the award entries this year was how they had crossed over from simply promoting a brand to championing social issues,” she said.

Croation news outlet 24sata picked up nominations for eight awards. The 13-year-old tabloid newspaper, whose name translates to “24 hours,” is up for Best Content Studio, Best Brand Partnership and Best Custom Advertising for its “#noshame” contraception campaign for pharmaceutical company Pliva; Best Brand Video Series and Best Branded Content Program for the YouTube-based series “The Shared Dream” with Coca-Cola; Best New Vertical/Brand for Miss7, a new media brand geared toward millennial women; and Best Use of Facebook Live and Best Live Moment for its coverage of the 2017 wildfire near the city of Split.
